Whadya mean you never said we would "stay the course"?

Today, George W. Bush spoke with George Stephanopolous. The following is excerpted from that conversation.

STEPHANOPOULOS: James Baker says that he’s looking for something between “cut and run” and “stay the course.”

BUSH: Well, hey, listen, we’ve never been “stay the course,” George. We have been — we will complete the mission, we will do our job, and help achieve the goal, but we’re constantly adjusting to tactics. Constantly.

Time out on the field!!!

George W. Bush: 15 Dec 2003; We will stay the course until the job is done, Steve. And the temptation is to try to get the President or somebody to put a timetable on the definition of getting the job done. We’re just going to stay the course.

George W. Bush: 17 Mar 2004; We will stay the course.

George W. Bush: 05 Apr 2004; And so we’ve got tough action in Iraq. But we will stay the course.

George W. Bush: 13 Apr 2004; And my message today to those in Iraq is: We’ll stay the course.

George W. Bush: 16 Apr 2004; And that’s why we’re going to stay the course in Iraq. And that’s why when we say something in Iraq, we’re going to do it.

George W. Bush: 04 Aug 2005; We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq.

George W. Bush: 30 Aug 2006; We will stay the course.
So...Sorry, Sir, but I gotta say you are lyin' about this one. Care to try again?
